Mensinakai Bonda / Mirchi Bonda

June 16, 2012

This is my dad's favorite snack and when he was visiting us last year i couldnt make it for him.
Today is father's day so made his favorite snack.
I have tried many times but still the chillies are ended up being too hot to eat.
I got an idea to soak it in the sour buttermilk for a whole day to take off the heat.
Dipped in the besan flour (gram flour)and deep fried it. Serve it with chutney & it was really yummy.
Also made a cake as my son wanted to make one for his dad :). Happy Fathers day to all.
